The Ryan NYP "Spirit of St. Louis" (registration N-X-211) carried Charles Lindbergh on the first solo non-stop transatlantic flight in May 1927, New York to Paris. Purpose-built by Ryan around a Wright J-5C radial and stripped of forward visibility to carry fuel, it became one of aviation's most iconic aircraft. This is the ex-Frog tooling, originally a 1964 Frog release, produced in the USSR and marketed in the West by Novo.
